Lately I have had this strange expression on my face
Unfamiliar to me, out of place
Along with it, this odd feeling inside
I’m starting to lose my need to hide
It’s vaguely familiar I have to admit
Can’t put my finger on it, it just doesn’t fit
Kind of hoping it doesn’t go away
If I’m lucky maybe one more day
As I stare at myself and try to analyze
I notice something in my eyes
A sparkle of sorts, a glimmer if you will
Something a bad day has yet to kill
My face feels strange in this contorted way
The corners turned up as if I’m ready to play
It’s now starting to come back to me it seems
The reason I mean, for why my features gleam
I’ve done this before, I know it now
I am smiling, I remember how…
